Simple Alarm Clock with DS1302 RTC © CC BY-NC-SA

DESCRIPTION

Alarm Clock video tutorial

Hello everyone, in this project we’ll try to make an easy alarm clock with Arduino UNO board. This project is a mix of different modules that I used before, if you’re stuck on something you can check in the website for the module tutorial, because that’s how I usually work: Do things separately and then start mixing. :D

For this project, we will need:

  • Arduino UNO board, or you can use what suits you:
  • DS1302 RTC module:
  • 4*4 matrix keypad module:
  • LCD I2C screen:
  • Buzzer module, or the 2 pins buzzer:

In case you’re stuck on something you can check these previous tutorials about the modules above:

How to setup DS1302 RTC module with Keypad + Arduino + LCD

How to simply use DS1302 RTC module with Arduino board and LCD screen

Arduino LCD I2C simple use and direct write from serial monitorArduino LCD I2C simple use and direct write from serial monitor

Arduino uno + 4×4 Keypad Matrix + LCD i2c screen

How to use a buzzer/piezo speaker with Arduino

Wiring:

Libraries and Code:

LCD i2c library You can chose this or download your own

Keypad library Or you can download it from Arduino IDE

RTC DS1302 virtuabotix library

Code: 

Download code

Code functionning is pretty simple, after wiring the module you can press “*” to set the time and date on the DS1302 RTC, the display will show then the current day and time if you want to set the alarm you press “A” and you can set which hour and minute, and you can deactivate it by pressing “B” before time or pressing any button while ringing.

I hope you like it, any problem you can contact me.

RTC_alarm_clock_LCD.inoArduino
Works with UNO + RTC DS1302 + LCD i2c + 4x4 keypad
(Majors changes made 12/04/18 to solve some issues)
//This code is to use with DS1302 RTC module + 4*4 Keypad + LCD i2c + Arduino + Buzzer
//After wiring the modules, the LCD will show the default date and time or the one set before
//The objective of this project is that you can set the RTC module from the keypad, and sure it will stay stored
//Then show it on the screen and after you can set your alarm.
